I tend to agree with you Melody, although I did chat to a lady who had just lost 9 stones in weight and wanted excess skin removed, I do have some sympathy with that. It was interesting that there were some very young women wanting boob jobs, so funny as I remember I wanted to be like twiggy when I was younger and she was flat chested! :D

Excess skin removal should be something she could get done on the nhs. If she has taken control and lost all that weight she had improved her health and they should allow her to have that done on the nhs – let’s face it they spend enough money on ppl with health implications due to obesity.

Pure and simple….

NO.

I am happy with what God gave me, as it ages I am sure I will adjust to the new face in the mirror and embrace it as it happens.

I can understand people who have cosmetic surgery for reasons such as scars or medical reasons such as back problems due to mahoosive chest etc but when it is purely someone wanting to do the anti age thing I think that makes them vain and being vain is an ugliness no amount of surgery will change.

Botox is another thing that makes me wonder… poison in your face must have long term implications. I would hate to see what happens in the distant future to all these ppl who have had it done.
I know someone who is currently having botox in her bladder to stop the tena lady syndrome. I suppose it has its benefits in some ways.

Just for the record….

Someone who doesn’t earn a wage and isn’t paying income tax is still a tax payer as they contribute to all the other taxes…
A few examples…
VAT
Fuel Tax
Road Tax
Inheritance Tax
tax on cigs and alcohol
Tax on your savings
Council Tax
and all the other taxes that you pay without realising…

Have you ever looked at how much tax you pay on a weeks groceries? It is usually printed on the bottom of your bill

Admittedly they are not in the same league as the income tax that some people pay but every adult in this country is a tax payer in some form.

[Melody]

who would that be then?
